Nominations for Board Members

This thread is the next step for Geocaching Maine members to nominate themselves or other eligible Geocaching Maine members for one of the four available board positions.

To nominate yourself, simply state your desire to run in this thread. To nominate someone else, state your nomination in this thread and inform the nominee. The nominee must accept his or her nomination by stating so in this thread. If you are nominated and choose not to run, please post here as well. Please specify the first name of the nominated person. This will help distinguish which person is nominated when the user name may include multiple people, as in teams of families using one user name.

A list of members who have accepted their nomination or who have nominated themselves, as well as a list of nominees choosing not to run will be listed at the end of this post.

Nominations will be taken until December 7th at 12 PM. Elections will be set up shortly after and run through to the end of December when the votes will be tallied.

I would like to nominate Hiram357 aka Aaron( I think that his first name)

Just a question for clarification: Are there certain positions or specific duties that come with a board appointment? I think it was Bruce who previously described duties that the current board members had assumed? Did this come naturally or were the duties divied up?

We have kept the duties of the board members open, meaning no one is assigned any particular duties. Some board members have accepted certain duties due to their ability or time availability. Just like in this forum, those most interested in a particular subject will most likely start and maintain the discussion. But decisions and posts made by the board are always agreed upon by all 5 members before posting. Obviously the webmaster has extra duties and input when the subject relates directly to the site software or operation. But other than that, all board members are equal.

That is not to say if a board wanted to they could not opt to assign duties, but in my opinion, there is no need for that structure and it leaves that duty open for others if needed.
